Samantha, the Expedia representative, was so amazing. She literally saved our vacation. The ceiling in our bathroom fell in, almost hitting my daughter, and Samantha stepped in and got our rooms changed. She also booked our restaurants for us. Absolutely amazing service!

Staff was very nice, rooms were modern, and this is the first resort we ahve went where we had "Butlers" from Expedia. Samantha and Laura/Judy were GREAT! They were such a helpful resource to get dinners booked and help navigate any minor inconvenience we had! We will definetly be going back to this resort! So much for the kids to do!

The resort is great for families with the available activities and sheer size of the place. Plenty of restaurant options. That being said, it is very competetive to get the reservations. Expedia personnel are quite helpful in confirming your bookings, but you have to fine your Expedia representative on the resort and communicate via WhatsApp. It’s a major help. The noise transfer in the rooms was a bit of an issue. You can hear neighbouring rooms quite clearly and the maid service in the morning was very loud. We didn’t sleep in once unfortunately. The rooms themselves are cozy. Don’t expect comfortable showering experiences unless you are ok with cold water. The hot water never makes an appearance. Warm water during odd times in the day. The size and amount of people on the resort makes it impossible to enjoy a warm shower. The check in and check out lines are an absolute disaster. There is a guide for the desk, but hoards of people just stand in front of the desk and then there’s two lines when there should only be one. Employees did not enforce any kind of structure at all. I spoke to some people that spent 3 hours simply trying to check in for their vacation. They need to get the lines in order because that was a poor START and FINISH of the vacation.

Great staff, food was great, room was perfect fit. There was tons of wild life on the resort! Lots of activities and things to explore on the resort. Never a huge line up for anything. Great jungle vibes! The map is deceiving gives you the impression everything is far away but only take 5mins to walk from one end to the other.

Desde que hicimos el check in en el hotel la persona de recepción nos atendió con una mala actitud, elegimos este hotel por su water park para nuestro hijo de 4 años y al llegar resultó que el área estaba cerrada de forma indefinida por reparaciones, solicitamos la cancelación de nuestra reserva inmediatamente y tardaron horas en darnos solución, fuimos a comer al único restaurante abierto a las 5 de la tarde y los coaties quitando la comida a la gente, finalmente su única solución fue movernos al sandos playacar donde nos dieron una habitación vieja, sin mantenimiento, la taza del baño se movía, el agua del garrafón se tiraba y amanecimos con un charco en el piso. Definitivamente no fue una buena experiencia de vacaciones. Si vas a ir te recomiendo asegurarte que las amenidades estén disponibles.

I can see how this could be a really fun place to go with a family--there was lots of greenery, it was close to a nice beach, and the room was nice. The issue we had, however, was that the water park did not fully open at all, and only half opened on our last day. It seemed a temporary thing (as in, it doesn't happen all the time) but I certainly would not have booked here had I known it wouldn't work.

They can improve their receptionist and customer service. I waited 3 hours to check in from 3pm to 6pm to get my room. In the week of my stay the lights went out for like a day bc of the weather. So the aqua park was closed for 1 day. Which it sucks bc I have kids and then not to forget the days I was mostly vacationing there was so many weddings which I think they’re beautiful but they have to close down the cenote couple of times early but okay. Other than that i enjoy my stay at sandos caracol it’s beautiful it has so much amenities to enjoy.

Room itself was in good condition, but the mattress was worn down. I could definitely tell that 2 heavy people slept on them due to the shape of the bed. The staff are mostly very friendly and speak some English. We enjoyed free bike rides, eco tours, water park, swimming in the cenote (natural pool), snorkeling by the beach and seeing a lot of interesting fish. As people said, the food could be better, but we tried to eat as much Mexican food as we can and loved it. It's silly to expect great Italian food, etc.

The room was good and clean. The staff was nice. The waterpark was shut down for five days of our day so that wasn’t the best it made. The rest of the pool is really busy and the kids got bored. shows were good. Maria the Expedia representative on site was awesome. She helped out a lot, making dinner reservations, and letting us know about the facility.
